Automated transcript · uncorrectedSunday morning with us the Senator Rick Scott from the great state of Florida and Senator so many things are happening in our country, in the world. The Big Beautiful Bill, I mean, it’s gonna work. I think we’re going to have a great economy. Tariffs, we’re still working on it.
You tell telling the American people on a Sunday morning how they should be feeling. Well.
First off, I think you should admire what President Trump has accomplished. He’s been in office for less than six months. The border secure, all right. He is worked in his tailoff to make sure the borders stay secure and we get rid of the criminals, the parrists, the people selling drug store kids. That’s positive number two. Because the Big
Beautiful Bill, we have a better chance to defend the freedoms of this country and we have the right military leadership to do it. And you really have to admire what they did with the Interram. Next, he was able to make his Trump tax cuts from twenty seven the Team Permanent, along with his campaign promises to you know,
tax relief for seniors, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. Just in Florida as an example, by making Trump tax cuts from twenty permanent. It saves the average family over thirty six hundred dollars per year. He’s working his butt off on these tariffs to try to make sure we get American jobs. That was over in Europe
a couple of months ago and they said, well, tell me about Trump. I said, there’s two things you have to think about. Number one, do not anticipate you’re going to be able to sell into our country. If you don’t allow our workers to sell our products and services in your country, it’s not going to happen. Number two is,
if you’re going to be in an ally of the United States, you’re going to do your fair share for defense. If you want to put nobody up in defense, and don’t don’t worry about your freedoms, We’re not going to show up. So he’s saying you are going to be part of it. I just I was meeting with one
of our European allies this week and they told me how they are absolutely can too spending money, you know, because of the risk of what Putin’s done, and there’s the right thing to do. So the now do we have work to do? We have a lot of work to do. We got to balance this budget. We got
to get back to pre pandemic spending. I mean, I’ll give you some numbers, John, If we were running two trillion dollar deficits now, hopefully with the tariff revenues, hopefully with the better economy, which Trump did the first time, he’ll do that again. Right, then we’re going to we’ll see increase revenue without raising taxes. And I’m never going
to support a tax increase. But think about this, with two trillion dollars year deficits, right, that will require us to just a balance a budget, not take care of the thirty seven trade dollars worth a debt. It’ll take It’ll require eighty percent tax increase on every American. And then people say, oh, just go tax the rich. If
you took away one hundred percent of the money of the rich above a certain level, is it one million, five million, ten million, No, you’d have to take one hundred percent income of every America that makes more than one hundred thousand dollars a year. That’s how far in the whole world. But Trump its committed to balance in
the budget. I’m going to do everything I can to help him. I’m working with O and B and Senator Ron Johnson to go through and the real audit of the federal budget to find continue to do a dose who’s doing keep finding where this waste is and get it out of the system. So we don’t you know,
we never in the system situation where we can’t get the interest rates down. These deficits make it very difficult for instrates come down, make it very difficult for inflation to go and get it under control and go away.
We should have no inflation two percent. Our dollars should not be devalued constantly because of wasteful government studied. So Trump is working his butt off. He’s had a lot of success, and we have a lot of work to do.
Senator I tried to explain to some of my friends the submit of our Democrats and about, oh my god, it’s the deficit is going to go up three point seven trigging over ten years. But I tried to explain to the three point seventy trillion over ten years is three hundred and seventy billion a year. Trump does one
good deal, that’s three hundred and seventy billion. Yeah.
Well, look, I believe the actions Trump and his administration are taking are going to recreate the economy we had before. Now everybody’s right, we have to get our spending out of control. We’ve got to go back to pre pandemic spending.
If we go back to pre pandemic spending, we will have a balanced budget and we can do this. There’s a lot of work, but I’m committed to getting it done. We got to stop these blues state governors for from you know, scamming the Medicaid program and giving free healthcare to illegals with borrow tax dollars at the federal level,
so we’ve got a lot of work to do, but I’m I’m very optimistic that we have a president that’s committed to balancing the budget and getting this under control.
Senator, there’s one more thing I’ve seen some people last week that came to me because Governor Hoke is sitting on a bill to assist suicide and and and that’s the new Democratic uh push assists suicide. And in what happens in New York State, people are killing their parents that are on in the hospitals to get their inheritance.
I mean, this is this is horrible. And he told me about one additional thing in states like Colorado. They want to assist suicides and iron arrest sick girls to to stop them from being in pain. I mean, this is the craziest thing I ever heard.
I love you know, I love my family. I can’t imagine losing my family members. I mean, this tragic. What happened in in Texas recently was just just for these little little kids. Is horrible. But you know, it’s like in New York, everybody, every elected official in New York on the Democrat side, it seems like they were just
recruiting people to move to Florida because it’s just insanity. And by the way, I was talking to a friend this week in Los Angeles, and she was telling me that that she can’t walk out of her building where she works because she’s afraid of something happening to her.
So they’re making our our they’re making our country unsafe. But I can tell you President Trump, you know, Tom Homan, Chris you know they’re going to do their best to get these criminals out of our country and make us safe again. But I don’t know what these Democrats think they’re doing, who they represent, who’s voting for these people.
I mean, it’s like, so you didn’t go vote for somebody wants to kill your job, ruin your kids’ education, and then also make you less safe. It’s like that’s what they’re doing. So we’re not going to do that in Florida. I can tell you that.
Well, Senator, Let’s keep fighting for our country and thank you for everything you do, and God bless you, and God bless America.
God bless Mercercy. John
